The Distant Town（Kurayoshi）

Misasa Onsen（Misasa）"Haruka na Machi e" (To the Distant Town), a
manga by Jiro Taniguchi, is set against the
backdrop of Kurayoshi in the 1930s. The
town's scenery, reminiscent of a bygone era, remains preserved in a peaceful stillness. The
district of white-walled storehouses has beennationally designated as an important area of
historical buildings for preservation.

Misasa Onsen, one of the most famous hot
springs of the San'in region, has long been regarded for its therapeutic beneﬁts. Its waters, with oneof the highest radon contents worldwide, are widely known for their "hormesis eﬀect", whichstrengthens immunity and the body's natural
self-healing abilities. It is famous for the open-air
baths that line the sides of Misasa Bridge.
